10 Years of The Real Housewives of Cheshire
We speak to so many women who say that The Real Housewives of Cheshire programme is their “guilty pleasure” and this season sees the 10 year anniversary of the show. Where DID that time go??
The 10 years coincides with our own 10 year’s anniversary in the cosmetic surgery business and we remember it hit our screens with a splash!!
Back in the day, the women named as the OG (which derives from the phrase Original Gangster!) were
Tanya Bardsley, Leanne Brown, Lauren Simon, Magali Gorré, Ampika Pickston and Dawn Ward.
The show began on 12 January 2015 and is now screened at 9pm on Mondays on ITV.
(You can also watch it on ITVBe to catch up on any you’ve missed).
Here’s a screen shot of the show with photo bombing at the back by Joanna Lambe and Gerard Lambe!

Hanna Kinsella
As we’ve been around the same amount of time as The Real Housewives of Cheshire show (Instagram @OfficialRHOCh) and we’ve been mixing in a lot of the same circles, we’ve bumped into many of them over the years (literally too many to mention!!)
Hanna Kinsella, featured here, even started her own teeth whitening brand (Instagram @IcyBearDental) which is doing so well and even stocks in Harrods, in London.
Her partner Martin is co-owner of Re-enhance, which is an aesthetic beauty and dental clinic based in Hale, Cheshire).
We wish them both so well in their business career
